Matrika Mussel

Mussel is a variegated blend of dark inky purple blues with touches of magenta and grey. Pairs beautifully with Karasu and Fogbound.  Great stitch definition from nicely twisted plies and a sparkling sheen are what make this yarn so special. Soft, strong and beautiful this yarn is especially well suited for shawls, cowls, or scarves. Matrika project gallery on Ravelry.
